What if the end of time unfolds across seven days, each more terrible than the last?
The Apocalypse of Thomas is a short, anonymous Christian text written under the apostle’s name. It presents a revelation in which Thomas asks about the end of the age and the Lord answers. According to the text, signs in heaven and on earth announce the last day, as warnings give way to growing turmoil.
Its central vision follows seven days of wonders before the Lord’s coming. Skies rain fire, the earth’s foundations split, and the fate of humanity comes into view. Outside the biblical canon of the major churches, this stark apocalypse offers a window into the fears and spiritual hopes of ancient Christian writers.

In short

From the 15-minute summary · Key idea 1
A short Latin text under an apostle's name
The Apocalypse of Thomas is anonymous. Like many early apocalypses, it carries the name of an apostle to give weight to its message. Thomas is the disciple who, in the Gospel of John, asks hard questions, so he is a natural figure to hear about the last things.
The text survives in Latin, and it exists in more than one version. The versions differ in length and in how much explanation they offer.
